Summary	0004495: Navigation cube is not clickable at its edges and corners
Description	When clicking on the edge of the navigation cube (the chamfered area), the view should be rotated by 45°. This does not work. One can select the area but it turns the view by 90°. Here is an example:

FreeCAD: master e58ee299 2021-02-21 05:16:09 uwestoehr Committer: wmayer Details Diff	[Gui] improving NaviCube fixes bug 4495 - add missing edge faces - implement a proper rotation recipe -> rotate towards the nearest possible state - add preferences settings to turn off this new rotation behavior - get rid of transparent cube faces to avoid wrong clicks, this way also remove the backfaces - to make the edge faces fit, use triangles for the corners - expose cube size setting to preferences dialog - add new button to view backside - get rid of bitmaps because as reported in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=52118&start=20#p481781 the x y z labels are not scaled on HiDPI screens moreover they are often "in they way" when you want to click on a corner and in principle they don't provide more info since we already have the CS with the axis labels - also fix an arithmetic overflow compiler warning - also rename 2 variables		Affected Issues 0004495

FreeCAD: master 23747f9d 2021-03-27 22:20:59 uwestoehr Committer: wmayer Details Diff	fix animation issue SO's auto rotation has its own rotation logic that ends at fixed positions. This collides with the "to nearest" option whose aim is to rotate to the next sensible state taking into account from what position the rotation was started. Thus the solution is to disable SO's auto rotation while the cube is rotated.		Affected Issues 0004495
